Lowell E. Colby

Colby, Lowell E. The evening of November 6th, 2010, a good man passed quietly into the night. At 87, Lowell was preceded in death by lifelong sweetheart of more than 58 years, Josephine, much loved son, Lowell Jr., parents, Edith & Leslie and sister, Lois. A veteran of WWII and Korea, he served his country when called at home and abroad, achieving the rank of Master Sergeant. Honorably discharged from the Army in 1955, Lowell dedicated himself to his family and worked as a letter carrier with the United States Post Office for three decades. Never afraid to say "I love you", Mr. Colby was protector and friend to surviving sons, Jon, Tim and daughter, Christine. Certainly, grandsons Nate & Todd McIntosh, Ryan and granddaughter, Misty Colby will miss their kind, steadfast mentor. Lowell bequeathed his earnest heart to his 11 great-grandchildren to grow within them. At least 3 cousins survive him, Robert, Adabelle and Yvonne. Enough cannot be said about the wonderful care this good man received from Veterans' Services over the years and Mount Olivet Day Services most recently. Lastly, we wish to thank Hospice of the Twin Cities for their very much appreciated guidance in heart breaking times. Funeral services are Monday, November 15th, 11 AM at Cremation Society of Minnesota, 7110 France Avenue, Edina. Visitation at 10 AM. Burial at Fort Snelling Cemetery, 1:45 PM that afternoon.
